CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When US Marines eat together, the Officers and Senior Leaders eat last and often serve their subordinates food before they finally get to eat (if there is enough food left).  This is a symbol and demo of their servant leadership philosophy.  What kind of leader are you? Do you go home after a long day and expect to be served? Or are you serving? When you sit down with your family to eat, are you the first to order or fill your plate? Or do you take care of your wife and children first? When entering a restaurant with coworkers, are you rushing to get in the order line? Or are you holding the door so others can go? Leadership sometimes can be a simple act – you don’t need words.

Talked about the Iron Cowboy, he ran 50 Iron Man Triathlons, in 50 Days, in 50 states. Biggest take away is what’s hard for me is hard for me and what’s hard for you is hard for you. He told this to a fan who was in awe of his accomplishment.

MOLESKIN:
Doubtfire dodged a bullet this morning. His back was hurting him and he put out a last-minute post at 4:33 AM asking for coverage. None of us saw the message until after we got started. We were all discussing what we would do to him at the equalizer for missing a Q. We landed on jumping in the water. Fortunately for him he got in the text before. Get better soon Doubtfire!

On another note there was a gentleman there at the flagpole with all kinds of stuff laid out, lights incense rugs etc. He was very friendly, and we invited him to join us next Wednesday.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Cross bar is in need of a job. He’s an industrial engineer but it impressive background. Maybe looking for something in construction as well. Prayers for him to find something quickly.
